FAQ

Can I run whisper-large-v3-turbo on a dedicated deployment in Europe?

Yes. sference deploys whisper-large-v3-turbo on GPU capacity reserved for you, behind a private endpoint, with every request processed on European GPUs and logged in your audit trail. Tell us your expected volume and latency targets with the form on this page and we come back with a sizing and a quote.

How many GPUs does whisper-large-v3-turbo need?

The published checkpoint is about 1.6 GB (FP16), so loading it takes at least 1 GPU with 80 GB of memory each, or 1 GPU with 141 GB each. Long contexts and high concurrency need more for the KV cache; quantization needs less. You don't pick hardware on sference: you choose a performance tier and we size the deployment.

Is whisper-large-v3-turbo licensed for commercial use?

whisper-large-v3-turbo is published under the MIT license. Permissive: commercial use, modification, and private deployment allowed; keep the copyright notice.
